UPDATE – iPhone 3.0 jailbreak and unlock tutorials now available:
- Jailbreak iPhone 3.0 using PwnageTool for Mac
- Unlock iPhone 3.0 using PwnageTool for Mac
- Jailbreak iPhone 3.0 using RedSn0w for Windows
- Unlock iPhone 3.0 using RedSn0w for Windows
That was quick! Apparently the Dev Team already got a hold of the new iPhone 3.0 SDK and confirmed that you will be able to jailbreak iPhone firmware 3.0 when it’s available.
With all of the great stuff lined up for us with the 3.0 OS that Apple described today, many 3G owners may find themselves with itchy update fingers. If you find yourself with access to the 3G IPSW for 3.0 via the iPhone Dev Center program, and you are using yellowsn0w, do not update or restore to that official IPSW. You will lose yellowsn0w and find yourself unable to revert the baseband to get it back.
And for those wondering, yes the 3.0 OS is jailbreakable on all devices. It’s just those using 3G yellowsn0w that have to show some restraint and wait for PwnageTool to create a custom IPSW that avoids the baseband update.
Translation: if you have any interest in preserving your ability to use YellowSn0w, wait for the GO from the Dev Team to update to 3.0!
